CURTAIN-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 621,175, dated. March 14, 1899.

Application filed March 8 1 8 9 8 To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JENNIE L. STURTEVANT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gilroy, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Rings; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Myinvention relates to curtain-rings; and the object is to provide a curtain-ring with a fastening by means of which the curtain may be attached to the ring without the employ ment of foreign meanssuch, for instance, as pins, clasps, and other similar devices heretofore employed for the purpose of connecting the curtain to the ring.

With this object in View the invention consists in certain features of construction and combination of parts which will be herein after fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a View illustrating my invention applied, the ring being shown engaged with the pole and the curtain connected with the ring. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the ring removed, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view through the piercing-pin and the portion of the ring engaged thereby.

In said drawings, 1 denotes the ring, which is made of a single 'piece of Wire bent into circular form. One end of the wire is bent downwardly to form an eye or seat 2, thence upwardly, and thence parallel with the side of the ring, as shown at 3. The end 3 is sharpened to a point, as shown, and its under Serial No. 673,125. (No model.)

side is preferably concave to fit and lie close against theconvex portion of the ring, thereby forming a smooth joint, as more clearly shown in Fig. 3.

In operation the side of the ring immediately above the point is sprung away from the point, thus enabling the curtain to be pierced by the point and be guided to the eye or seat. Pressure is released from the ring and the side will spring into engagement with the concaved surface of the point, thus closing the entrance to said seat or eye, and thereby preventing the accidental disengagement of the curtain.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. As an improved article of manufacture, the ring 1 formed of a single piece of wire having one end formed with an eye 2 and its immediate pointed end 3 formed with a concave recess to overlap and partly encompass the contiguous face of the opposite end of said ring, substantially as shown and described.

2. As a new article of manufacture, the curtain-ring 1 having its pointed end 3 crescentshaped in cross-section, and a single eye 2 formed in the ring-body contiguous to said crescent-shaped pointed end, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
